Courgette fritters or cream of courgette soup?

Islandmaid

Use the courgettes instead of marrow for courgette and ginger jam

Phew. it's not just me then. Maybe they like a hard cold surface ie your tiles and my flags

Burtha & Pineapple - lucky you! I do get frogs but hav'n't seen a toad in the garden for years. I read somewhere that they can live to a ripe age.

Monnagran green is actually my fav colour - just not when it extends to VEG :eek::eek:

MTSTM, I can't put him on the barred list, he's my best friend's husband :rotfl: And by the end of this, the reward will be living here. We'll be too short on money otherwise. Though I have promised myself new towels.

Woke up to a house that stunk of poop. Basically because the stuffing from the already installed loo pipe had been removed. I've sacrificed a towel and stuffed it, the smell is now dissipating.

Pineapple, we get little green tree frogs on our windows. They're so cute, that they remain a novelty to me.

Floss, not sure I could put other people through this :rotfl:

I love courgettes sliced, fried and put on top of homemade chips, covered in cold salty yoghurt. It's a turkish thing, great comfort food.

Lmao SOFTSTUFF at the plumber with puppies excuse, but I can relate to it as when my late lab had pups, I turned down over 3 months of supply teaching , to look after them
I was like a new Mum, all over again :rotfl::rotfl:

I understand the excitement, and if it were me I'd have done the same. I credit that particular plumber with giving me a real strong desire to get along with all my neighbours.... when the dog gave birth, he'd removed the loo and that's when he vanished :rotfl:

Happy Birthday elona :bdaycake: Thinking of you! Hope the girls spoil you xx

Got the Olympics on atm. Like last time, we're enjoying it far more than we anticipated. I do hope they can sort the green diving pool out though :eek:
